Pension reform policy in Latin America: a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis
Latin American countries have been at the forefront of pension privatization and since 2008 they have also pioneered reform reversals.

Using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), the article analyzes a set of 32... |

The effect of Covid pension withdrawals and the Universal Guaranteed Pension on the income of future retirees in Chile

We estimate the effect of a permanent income increase on the health outcomes of the elderly poor. Our regression discontinuity design exploits an eligibility cutoff in a Chilean basic pension program that grants monthly payments to retirees without a contributory pension. Using administrative data, we find that four years after applying, basic pension recipients are 2.7 percentage points less... |
